JAKKS Pacific head Jack Friedman said, "From the outset, we have maintained that WWE's claims against us were meritless and part of an attempt by WWE to force us to relinquish our financial stake in our licenses. We have refused to be bullied into submission and are delighted that the Connecticut Court has granted summary judgment in our favor." WWE has stated that they will be appealing the decision handed down by federal court last week. {WWE's Entire Case against JAKKS Pacific and Its Senior Officers Dismissed}
